Tian Jing felt a chill in his heart: It's over. He was caught by Huai Guzi. All this time of groveling was in vain.
Immediately afterwards, Tian Jing thought in horror: I am afraid this time it will not be in vain, and it is not certain whether he can save his life.
In panic, he quickly denied it and said to Li Shui: "I am definitely not snickering. The person who set up the trap is definitely not me. I don't know the iron hand at all."
After saying a few words like this, Tian Jing suddenly felt something in his heart: Yes, what am I afraid of? Anyway, no one knows that I know Iron Hand. There is no proof, what can Huaiguzi do to me? I'm afraid he just doubts me now and has no real evidence.
After thinking this way, Tian Jing straightened his back and said frankly: "Master Banished Immortal, you are really wronged by me. I have never done anything like this."
"Yes, just a few months ago, I had a dispute with Banished Immortal, but since then, I have apologized and sent Banished Immortal two beauties. What? Does Banished Immortal still hate me now? ?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone else secretly despised Li Shui, feeling that he was indeed unreasonable and a bit stingy.
Li Shui said helplessly: "But Tie Shou is really not from Shangjun Courtyard. Do you want to force me to admit it?"
Zhao Teng came out and said to Xini: "In my opinion, this person pretended to be a craftsman from Shang Jun's courtyard, and he committed a heinous crime. Yan Le killed him because he was doing harm to the people, so there is no need to pursue him."
"As for Mr. Huai, he is naturally not at fault for allowing slaves to commit crimes. This is all a misunderstanding. Mr. Huai, please shake hands and make peace with Yan Le."
Yan Le very much suspected that all of this was directed and acted by Li Shui, but the current result was obviously better than losing his life, so he was happy to make peace with Li Shui.
But Li Shui disagreed: "Now someone is framing him. If I don't find this person, how can I rashly shake hands and make peace? I want to report it to Your Majesty."
Zhao Teng said with a headache: "What's the use of reporting it to Your Majesty? Master Huai, it's better not to disturb the palace with these trivial matters."
Li Shui said: "His Majesty has a sharp eye and knows every detail. As long as he takes a look, he will naturally know who the real murderer is."
Zhao Teng was a little speechless: Are you kidding me? Or are you so used to flattering others that you believe it? His Majesty could tell who the real murderer was just by looking at him. Do you really think His Majesty is a god?
Li Shui looked at Zhao Teng innocently: "What? Mr. Zhao, you don't believe it?"
Zhao Teng said: "Believe it, I believe it without a doubt."
Li Shui asked Wang Wan again: "Does Prime Minister Wang believe it?"
Wang Wan coughed dryly: "I believe it."
Li Shui looked at the other courtiers, who all said against their will: "Of course your Majesty can tell who is causing trouble behind the scenes."
These courtiers felt a little tired. Forget it, the banished immortal loves to toss, so just go ahead and don't bother to care.
Therefore, Li Shui called the courtiers and led Tian Jing, Yan Le and others into the palace, saying that he wanted to see Ying Zheng for comment.
Zhao Teng didn't know if Li Shui was full and why he made the matter so big. I asked Li Shui several times in private, but every time Li Shui smiled and said nothing.
In fact, when Tian Jing and Ji Ming plotted to kill Li Shui, Xiao Yi told Ying Zheng the information. And Ying Zheng had already sent people to monitor Tian Jing's mansion.
It was clear where he went and who he met.
In other words, the relationship between Tian Jing and Tie Shou has long been exposed.
Therefore, Li Shui was just cooperating with Tian Jing in a play. After this play is over, Tian Jing can be killed and the task assigned by Ying Zheng can be completed.
As Li Shui hurried on, he thought to himself: "Your Majesty wants me to frame some crimes on Tian Jing and get rid of him. Actually, why bother? Tian Jing is just worried that the world will not be chaotic. I don't need to frame him, he will jump in by himself Already..."
After a short time, everyone entered the palace in a mighty manner.
Tian Jing kept cheering himself up and giving psychological suggestions along the way, telling himself: There is no evidence for this matter, so I don't need to be afraid.
After doing this kind of psychological suggestion too much, Tian Jing himself had hallucinations and felt that Li Shui was framing him, so his expression became more and more calm.
Ying Zheng was waiting for them in the study.
After everyone arrived, Ying Zheng asked calmly: "Why did the ministers rush into the palace?"
Li Shui secretly laughed in his heart: The emperor pretends to be very similar, don't you know what's going on? You were secretly monitoring the whole process.
The emperor asked and had to answer.
Zhao Teng looked at Li Shui, the culprit, but Li Shui had his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to stay out of the matter.
Zhao Teng had no choice but to cough dryly and said: "Recently, someone pretended to be a craftsman in Shangjun Courtyard and bullied Yan Le, a powerful man in Guandong. Yan Le killed this person."
Ying Zheng frowned: "Are these small things worthy of entering the palace?"
Zhao Teng smiled bitterly and said: "Now the banished immortal denies it, saying that this person is not a craftsman from Shangjun Courtyard. He also says that this person was instigated by others, and the person who instigated him is the powerful Tian Jing."
"The two sides had no evidence and argued endlessly without any results. In the end, Huaiguzi proposed that it be up to His Majesty to decide whether to enter the palace."
Ying Zheng said calmly: "Since there is no evidence, what else can we decide? Do you want me to convict based on my personal likes and dislikes?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked at Li Shui in confusion.
Li Shuili had previously insisted on going to the palace to ask His Majesty to make a decision, despite all opinions. Everyone thought that he had negotiated with the emperor, but now it seems that is not the case at all.
Huaiguzi is too confident? I thought I knew His Majesty’s likes and dislikes, but now I’m being slapped in the face?
Many people felt a sense of schadenfreude in their hearts.
No way, who made Li Shui so popular at the time? Now that he was unlucky, everyone felt bad breath.
Immediately afterwards, Ying Zheng said calmly: "Huai Guzi, I have also heard that you have been buying servants in the city recently. This matter is too arrogant and domineering. You have gone too far."
Li Shui was a little depressed: Why did you change your face? Didn't we discuss it well before?
Ying Zheng seemed a little tired. He waved his hand and said, "The rest of you should leave. Huai Guzi should stay and spend some time in the palace to think about it behind closed doors."
Li Shui stayed with a helpless expression, while the other courtiers left with thoughtful expressions.
After everyone exited, Ying Zheng smiled slightly and looked at Li Shui: "Do you think I am moody and unable to figure things out?"
Li Shuiqian laughed and said: "The power of God is unpredictable, normal, normal."
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said: "Yes, I do have evidence to kill Tian Jing. But... just now, I received a report saying that Ji Ming conspired with a group of courtiers to impeach you."
When Li Shui heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Who is it? Why do these people want to impeach me? I have worked hard and dedicated myself for the Qin Dynasty, but they want to impeach me? Is there any conscience in this?"
Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui who was jumping up and down, shook his head helplessly, and said: "The city is too deep, and it is easy to be disliked by others. But it is a bit dangerous for someone like you, who has no city in mind, and shows emotions and anger. It’s easy to be plotted.”
Li Shui looked like he had been taught something: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice."
Ying Zheng said calmly: "The reason why I didn't punish Tian Jing just now was to paralyze them and attract those courtiers to write a letter of impeachment against you. By then, we will naturally know who the courtiers who were bribed by Ji Ming are."
Li Shui's eyes lit up: "Then your Majesty will suddenly take action and kill them all?"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
Li Shui bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Ying Zheng smiled and said to Li Shui: "You should be more careful. You are in good shape. Why did you buy servants from the powerful people in Guandong?"
Li Shui said: "Your Majesty, you don't know something. These servants are all talents. If used properly, they can help our Great Qin expand its territory. It's a pity that those powerful people in Guandong have such poor vision that they let these servants carry tea and water all day long. Isn’t this a waste of talent? I can’t stand it, so I can only take action myself.”
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "That's all, I still trust your character. You said they are talents, so you can't be wrong. You can rest in the palace these days."
Li Shui agreed and walked out of Ying Zheng's study. He didn't go back to the alchemy room and went straight to Wei Yang's bedroom.
I have been really busy these days, interviewing those alchemists all day long. Now that I finally have some time, let’s have fun for a few days.
Li Shui wandered around the palace all day long, while the courtiers outside the palace were very busy.
Everything that happened in Ying Zheng's study quickly spread to the ears of every courtier.
These courtiers were very smart, and they keenly sensed a hint of falling out of favor: Huaiguzi was about to fall out of favor.
This guy relies on his ability to make pills, and he is domineering and arrogant all day long. Now the elixir has not been refined, but human lives have been lost.
His Majesty finally couldn't hold it any longer and expressed his dissatisfaction. It is conceivable that His Majesty will place Huai Guzi under house arrest in the palace. Let him step up his elixir refining, and as for matters involving the court, he will not be allowed to interfere.
Many courtiers laughed out loud in their dreams when they thought of the government hall without Huaiguzi.
As a result, some people began to write memorials eagerly, hoping to add fuel to the flames and drive Li Shui away as soon as possible.
Among those who wrote the memorial, there were naturally those whom Ji Ming had contacted. Of course, there are also some people who are looking for fame and reputation and want to take advantage of the situation.
As for some mature and prudent people, they feel that although Huaiguzi is arrogant, after all, it has solved the problem of food and clothing for the people in Guanzhong and eliminated the troubles of the Xiongnu, which is still a great achievement.
Therefore, these courtiers remained silent.
Within a few days, the memorial to impeach Li Shui was quickly placed on Ying Zheng's desk.
Ying Zheng did not read the contents, but just wrote down the names, and then gave them to Si Tu to check one by one to see who was related to Ji Ming. Who wants to take advantage of the situation, and who just blindly follows it.
It only took one day for Si Dou to find out everything clearly and then reported it back to the emperor.
Ying Zheng wrote down these names. They were charged in advance. Anyone related to Ji Ming was demoted to common people. Anyone who wants to take advantage of the situation will be demoted and fined. As for those who blindly follow the situation for a while, they will only be reprimanded.
Ying Zheng wrote a list, put it in his sleeve, and then ordered the eunuch to notify the courtiers and hold a court meeting.
His Majesty suddenly wants to discuss the matter, and the ministers are all aware of it. Probably because of Huaiguzi. Because many people have been impeaching Huaiguzi recently, and Huaiguzi has been hiding in the palace without saying a word. It is estimated that this time, he will really fall.
Many people are lamenting that they did not expect that Wang Li, Wang Ben, Zhao Gao, Yan Le, Niu Dou... these people did not defeat Huai Guzi. The locust millet fell into the hands of the iron hand. Is this like a boat capsized in the gutter?
However, many people believe that Huaiguzi seems to have been defeated by Iron Hand. In fact, it was the Wang family, the Zhao family, and countless courtiers who fought against Huaiguzi, who used their deaths to make His Majesty wary of Huaiguzi...
In short, on this day, some people actually started to remember the dead Wang Li.
Li Shui was silent and stood at the door of the Yizheng Hall, thinking about Liangpi's approach. After mentioning it to Wei Yang yesterday, Wei Yang became interested and kept pestering Li Shui to make this food.
Li Shui sighed and thought: As a time traveler, is it easy for me? You need to know not only medical skills, but also how to govern a country, and you also need to be able to cook.
Chunyu Yue, who was standing next to him, saw Li Shui sighing and said in a low voice: "Huaiguzi, it may not be a bad thing for you to leave the court. Your temperament is not suitable for being an official in the court. Listen to my advice, after you go back this time, I will refine elixirs honestly and spread the magic, and I must never do evil again."
Li Shui glanced at Chunyu Yue and said, "Master Chunyu, do you think I can still spread the magic after I leave the court?"
Chunyu Yue looked at him puzzled: "Why not?"
Li Shui said: "The spread of magic will always touch the interests of some people. For example, if I make an iron pot, the courtier who has a pottery workshop in his family will hate me to the bone."
"For example, if I make fairy paper, those who make a living by making bamboo slips will be dissatisfied with me."
"There are countless things like this. Just because I am a banished immortal, I have a gold medal to avoid death, so I can vigorously promote my immortal skills without fear of anyone's obstruction."
"Once I left the court, I lost some and became a powerless little alchemist again. No matter how good my magic is, I can't move forward."
"So, does Dr. Chunyu really think that I like to be arrogant? I just do it as a last resort. If I don't be arrogant and tough, how can I build Daqin into a fairyland on earth?"
Li Shui sighed: "I am a good person, but these evil people force me to be domineering."
Chunyu Yue was stunned by Li Shui, and he actually felt a sense of sympathy for Li Shui in his heart.
Fortunately, he was not a fool, and quickly told himself: "Don't believe the rhetoric of this shameless person."
In order to avoid being bewitched by Li Shui, Chunyu Yue quickly walked away.
Chunyu Yue walked away, and a man named Gongsun Cheng came over.
He said to Li Shui with a sneer: "Huaiguzi, others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you. To tell you the truth, I am one of the people who wrote a letter to impeach you."
After Gongsun Cheng said this, he felt very proud. This is a famous banished immortal, a banished immortal that everyone is afraid of, but I dare to rebuke him in public.
Anyway, he will be under house arrest in the palace in a while. Why not repay injustice with injustice and revenge with hatred? Go to Baidu to read the latest chapter of "I was a great hero in the Qin Dynasty" for free as soon as possible.
